Beef has about 100 times more greenhouse gas emissions than peas. Let's eat more peas. OK?

@ClimateHuman Ending the agriculture industry would actually do more.

This story can only exist in a failing society.

That it's being presented as a feel-good article is all the more dystopic.

[Joy Batty @BattyJoy]

@thephysicsgirl Sounds like chronic fatigue syndrome.

Fish deserve compassion.

Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today.

Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.

Musk declares something he knows nothing about, is corrected by an employee who explains the problem, and then fires that employee and presents their ideas as his own. If this doesn't sum up his entire career I don't know what does.

Good morning to everyone except these two—Alexander Taylor and Myra Brown—who sued over student debt relief and got it struck down.

I had a guy friend with a Ph.D in engineering ask me last week how women pee with a tampon in and this is why men shouldn’t be passing laws about women’s bodies.

Ok it began as a joke now it's on the threshold of turning into a second job 🤦‍♀️

"Industrial agriculture … is bad for everybody. It’s bad for society. It’s bad for the climate. It’s bad for human health. It’s bad for animals. It’s bad for farm workers. It’s bad for everybody except the people who own the land and get rich off it."

Let me get this straight:

The Supreme Court says states cannot decide how to regulate guns—yet only the states can decide how to regulate a woman’s body.

@TeachHenry I spend my summers lesson planning and making PowerPoint presentations.

[Joy Batty @BattyJoy]

@z_r_d_g_ @TeachHenry I make way less than that as a science teacher. I have a biology degree. States that pay more throw off the average. Most teachers don't make that much money unless they've been teaching for 20 years.

Republicans contend that a 12 year old is too young to talk about sexual orientation and gender identity, but not too young to be forced to give birth from a pregnancy as a result of rape.

Do I have that about right?

[Joy Batty @BattyJoy]

@slava__bobrov This is magical.

@ChinaRescueDogs Any updates?

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

On the left, an Obama economic advisor & current econ professor who makes $237,249 and pushes the false GOP talking point that student debt cancellation would be regressive
